  • Special interests are important, they are coping mechanisms that we use to destress and recover from exposure to an alien world; minecraft certainly is an expression of your sons need to feel in control of his surroundings.

    The more we are required to act outside our comfort zones, the greater the need to interact with a special interest. I was, with no disrespect, playing Astroempires whilst I delivered my fathers euligy, without my interest (AE) that would not have been possible for me.

    Can he be encouraged to play minecraft in a communual space so he can "pop up" periodically to enter a remark into an ongoing conversation? This might prove to be his most effective social format.
